INDIANAPOLIS -- NBA officials decided Sunday that Dwyane Wades forearm shot to Lance Stephenson was a flagrant foul -- just not enough of a shot to warrant a suspension. The league issued its ruling shortly before the Heat were to face Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. Neither Pacers coach Frank Vogel nor Heat coach Erik Spoelstra expected the league to hand down a suspension with a berth in the NBA Finals at stake. Wade explained to reporters before the game that he was not surprised by the decision. "I wasnt worried because it wasnt intentional," he said. "All I was trying to do was get out of the way of him trying to set a screen." Wade then cut off questions, saying he only wanted to talk about Game 3, which is Sunday night at Indiana. He will be in the starting lineup. The play occurred in the fourth quarter of Indianas Game 2 victory when Stephenson was running down the court on a fast-break. Wade jumped into the air and hit Stephenson in the back of the head with his arm, knocking Stephenson to the floor. No foul was called on the play. Spoelstra didnt complain about the decision. "We take it for what it is, we cant control what the league decides," he said. "We just have to move on." Before Wade spoke, LeBron James explained he believes the league needs to protect players from taking head shots -- just like the NFL and NHL do. But he backed his teammate. "I think we all know thats what replay is for," James said. Miami guard Mario Chalmers also will start after injuring his shoulder in both Games 1 and 2 in Miami. Wholesale Ravens Jerseys China .

A month into the NFL season and weve learned that the Broncos think they could be the 1985 Bears on defense -- and the 1998 Denver team that repeated as Super Bowl champions.Weve learned the Browns are banged-up and bad. Then again, they were that when the preseason ended.And weve seen some player meltdowns (Odell Beckham Jr., Bills vs. Patriots) that should be troubling the league office.A look at the first four weeks, what they mean, and what might be ahead:REVIVALSStart with the Eagles (3-0), Rams (3-1) and Raiders (3-1).Whats going on in Philly is more like a throwback after Chip Kellys system worked temporarily. With rookie sensation Carson Wentz performing like a veteran star, a revitalized defense led by Fletcher Cox, and harmony everywhere, this is a story with staying power. The NFC East has no members with a losing record, but dont be fooled, its still a mediocre division. If the Eagles come back strong from the bye as they play four of their next five on the road -- including visits to all three division foes -- stamp them legitimate.Oakland was pegged by many as a playoff challenger as GM Reggie McKenzie has rebuilt the roster superbly. The Raiders are winning despite a sieve of a defense, and with Khalil Mack and David Amerson on hand, that unit should improve. Still, hanging with Denver seems too much to ask.The Rams are a feel-good story everywhere except in St. Louis. The franchise move has had little negative impact, and after an awful opener, Jeff Fishers group looks like a wild-card contender even without top overall pick QB Jared Goff on the field.REGRESSIONSIts gotten ugly early in Arizona, Carolina, Indianapolis, Miami, New Orleans, Detroit and the Jersey Meadowlands. All of those teams -- the Jets in the Big Apple -- are 1-3.Most alarming is seeing the Panther s and Cardinals down with the dregs of the league. Hey, they played for the NFC title in January, and now they have quarterbacks who have concussion issues, defenses that are stumbling around, and a division rival (Atlanta in the NFC South, Seattle in the NFC West) with a solid lead on them.Look for both to make turnarounds, although not approaching the success we saw from them last season.Injuries have also caused some of the other regressions, though the talent base with the Lions and Jets signals that they should be doing better. Not so in the Big Easy, where playing defense apparently is too hard, or in Indy, where being down on your Luck usually means Colts QB Andrew Luck has been sacked. Those problems figure to continue.INDIVIDUAL STANDOUTSSome of the guys wed expect to excel are doing just that, boosting their teams toward the top of the standings. Certainly Von Miller and Aqib Talib on Denvers dominant defense, where Derek Wolfe has beecome a force, too.ddddddddddddDefinitely Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and the RB combo of LeVeon Bell and DeAngelo Williams on Pittsburghs offense.Barring injuries, those two clubs have the elements to ride the D or the O all the way to the Super Bowl.Julio Jones cant be covered by Falcons foes. Hes averaging 22.2 yards a catch.Running back LeGarrette Blount has been a godsend to the Tom Brady-less Patriots.Everson Griffen is reigning in purple as the main cog in the Vikings dynamic defense. Richard Sherman remains a shutdown cornerback for the Seahawks.How about a few shout-outs to the less-heralded players who should be drawing attention and headlines regardless of how their teams are faring? Try ball-hawking cornerback Marcus Peters in Kansas City, punt returner Jamison Crowder in Washington, sacks demon Kerry Hyder in Detroit, running back Isaiah Crowell in Cleveland and receiver Stefon Diggs in Minnesota.THE KIDSThe 2016 rookie crop is already looking quite sharp.In todays NFL, with salary cap restraints, lack of patience by ownership and significant injuries, its imperative that the newcomers make an impact. Weve seen that happen with Wentz in Philly, QB Dak Prescott and RB Ezekiel Elliott in Dallas, receiver Michael Thomas in New Orleans, CB Jalen Ramsey and DE Yannick Ngakoue in Jacksonville, and LBs Deion Jones in Atlanta and Sua Cravens in Washington.SIDELINE BRILLIANCE AND BRAINLESSNESSIn the case of the Mikes, Minnesotas Zimmer already has one hand on the APs Coach of the Year award, and San Diegos McCoy already has one foot out the door.Sure, its only one month into a season that ends on New Years Day. To argue that we havent already seen some superb coaching and some inept decision making would be ignoring the results.Zimmer has the Vikings at 4-0 without the NFLs best running back, Adrian Peterson, and his regular quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater.The trade for Sam Bradford looks canny as long as the oft-injured QB can stay healthy. But Zimmers work gives you the feeling he can make things stay positive under most any circumstance.McCoys Chargers have become adept at blowing leads, and not only because of the execution on the field.Some coaches to keep an eye on over the next quarter of the season:Doug Pederson -- Can he keep the Eagles on track?Chuck Pagano -- Can he get the Colts back on track in a weak division?Dan Quinn -- Atlanta started 6-1 last season and finished 8-8. But these Falcons look far more reliable.Jim Caldwell -- The Lions are heading in the wrong direction after a big opening win at Indianapolis.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Baseball Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys China Stitched NFL Jerseys Cheap Custom Jerseys China Cheap Basketball Jerseys Authentic NFL Jerseys China Cheap College Jerseys Wholesale Football Jerseys ' ' '
